Best laptop for PE/HF Prep at home etc.

Hello, 
My mac has broken after several years of good service, just starting my AN2 year and looking to up the amount of prep I am doing at home and would like to do it on my personal laptop 

(i.e. preferably it would be a Windows laptop for shortcuts and whatnot). 

Looking to spend about £1-1.5k. 

Would use it primarily for modelling prep/courses, general life admin, youtube etc. so doesn't need to be a beast gaming laptop. 

Any recs?
